Good to see Liz and Gretaboy moving up - good work both of you. the last few winter days in Sydney's west have been very cold but the sun has been shining and the riding without the school kids about has been good. Looking forward to a good ride home tonight - have a good weekend everyone.

I love the mini challenges within the challenge that occur. It means you don't loose incentive because the leaders of the pack have already bolted past your likely cumulative total for the year.

Looking forward to the weather warming up and soccer / netball ending so there can be more riding after swimming, soccer and netball are now just getting in the way.
Hoping the get the Repco Superlite paint job finished after a repair so I can have the old girl back. It is such a nice bike to ride.

Gretaboy - good riding mate up to ninth now - it is wonderful to see your kms are up there again even if I am the next target on your hit list.

My OCD is starting to kick in again regarding the riding and clocking up the kays, I am also looking forward to the warmer weather..means I can start earlier and stay out longer
Told you a few posts back....got you in my sights, just got to force myself to run you down, so to speak

Hmmm, coulda sworn I replied to this unsettling news when it was first raised by Jason. Oh well, blame site issues. Or tapatalk.Oxonabike....I'm coming baby I'm coming...wanna wait for me lol ????
Anyhow, back when you were in 7th place, and noting that Robinho was steadily climbing the ladder I mentioned that you were merely keeping my end of year position warm for me. And most would agree that the usual order of things will go someway to being restored with you at the upper end of the ladder. So I humbly accept my role as the CCR rabbit and await your victorious 'whooshing' past in the next few weeks.
I'll also just put this out there as a half baked excuse: On Monday, myself and seven other Cairns riders are nominating for the Victorian 3 peaks challenge for next year - we've just started training. While this won't affect commuting days, it will most likely wipe any of the extended commutes which would be the only way of keeping ahead of the pack. With serious vertical work and Km's occurring over weekends, commutes will unfortunately be relegated to recovery rides

My weekly total is about 150km so you can plot the likely passing date, and aim to take my spot at some earlier date... to keep it interesting. Hmmm, 150km. .. that was a day and a half for you back in the day!

I could do with the company, I am sort of out on my own.gretaboy wrote:guess I will have to chase fourth down then
If I can keep going I should finish the year with about 11500 Ks, That is with public holidays and a bit of leave factored in.
That gives you something to aim for, if you can do it it will be some sort of effort. 7000 ks in 4 months, that will give you the equivalent of over 20K / year. The boys out the front of me look to be on track for under 14K for the end of the year.
Good luck with it, Mick

Because I have too much time on my hands, I just spreadsheet this. You'll jump me at the end of this month. My commuting year finishes on the first week in December, and should pull up at 6800 - 7000 or so Km - a few hundred less than last year.Robinho wrote: aiming for a minimum 220kms a week for the forseeable.
Gretaboy: What's your average weekly these days?

It really depends on how many medical appointments I have during the week but the minimum I try and do is 200 but quite often I am aiming for over 300
